Can we please get to Disney! UPDATE 6/4 HOLLIES GRADUATION VIDEO

[Disneyfan71]

Guess what..sorry about being off topic..but we scored reservations at San Angel Inn on our last night I was very happy..BUT no cancellations for dinner at Le Cellier

 

[hlrababy]

Okay folks, I talked to my sis-in-law the other night! She has booked our trip for October!!!!! WHOOO HOOOOO!!

So, its going to be SIL, dr boyfriend, my 2 nieces, maybe his 3 kids if they aren't with their mom, younger BIL, younger SIL and her hubby, and possibly FIL and S-MIL! Oh, and we can't forget the Nanny! Yes....I said it right. They are taking the Nanny because younger niece won't go to Halloween Horror Nights. So, they are bringing their nanny to play with Hattie and Hollie. We are staying at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal. Now, nothing against the nanny, but we only leave Hollie with my parents. So, I don't necessarily know if we will let Hollie stay with her. But, with Hattie staying with her I know Hollie would in a heartbeat. She LOVES her cousin!!! But, we will see!

Oh, oh, oh!! the good thing about it..........WE ARE ALL GOING TO MICKEY'S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!

Aww cool!!!! We really like San Angel Inn. I mean, the menu had changed since the last time we were there (it was 2002) but we still liked it! The fiesta margarita is soooooooooo good in there!!! The funny thing was me and MIL were going to share some chicken nachos....but they didn't have any on the menu. So, we all got the empanada and it was good though! I have a picture on my trip report, but I will go and post it for you!

Sounds like you are going to have a great time. And I am so jealous you get to go to MNSSHP, I wanna go . When you say FIL and S-MIL is that different to the ones you went to Disney with? Have you stayed at Hard Rock Hotel before? We are staying st Royal Pacific but we like the look of Hard Rock too

Girl, That is so exciting. I know what you mean about leaving Hollie with someone other than your parents. I'm the same way. I'm soooo jealous that you get to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. That's my goal. And little does my family know (if I ever do get to go), I will be dressing up. Whether it embarasses them or not.

Oh yeah, its the different ones from Disney last year. It's Chads real dad and his wife, Chad's stepmom. I am really excited!! We have never been to MNSSHP before!!! We have never stayed at Hard Rock Hotel so I am really excited!!!!

I have always wanted to stay at the Royal Pacific. You have stayed there before, right?

First of all... HOLY CRAP on whose going! That's a lot of famdamnly time!! And, a NANNY??? Wow!
Secondly, you're not staying at Disney? How many days are you going to be gone and what are your plans for Disney? I've forgotten.

I know, right!! That is a crowd!!!! Plus, the dr. boyfriend's business partner and his wife and son are going as well. So, there should be around 16 of us, and that doesn't include dr's kids if they are at home!
Chad's sis decided that every year in October she wanted to do something all together. See, long story short, we just had them come into our lives 4 years ago. So, we all like to get together as much as possible. It will definately be like the clampetts when we all get together!!
Amy (older sis) and our 2 nieces are actually coming into town next weekend for a concert. So, Hattie (10 year old niece) is actually going to hang out with Chad and Hollie while I go to the concert with Amy and Lex. Then Saturday we are going to the Ga. Aquariuma.

Our dates are Thursday, October 15th through Monday, October 19th. The only thing Disney for that trip is going to be MNSSHP! But, I am excited about it!!
I still haven't made too many ideas and plans about our November trip. I just have some ideas about ADR's, but it depends on the dates of MVMCP.

Whether it embarasses them or not.

I just worry about things happening, ya know! When she is with my parents I don't worry for nothing!!!!!
I am so excited about MNSSHP! We have never been!! We plan on getting Hollie and Hattie an appoinment at BBB to get there hair and makeup done!
I want to dress up!!!!! I am thinking maybe Wendy and Chad can wear some tights and be Peter Pan, while Hollie is Tinkerbell!!

 

[Disneyfan71]

Glad you're going in October--we had originally planned to go in late September, got changed to January of this year...then moved to June of this year and NOW April, which we aren't changing.

But congrats on going in October

 

[lazydoxy66]

Your plans sound awesome!!
I laughed so hard when you talked about sniffing John S. OMG, you are crazy! So did he smell like what you thought he would?

 

[ariel2007]

Oh yeah, its the different ones from Disney last year. It's Chads real dad and his wife, Chad's stepmom. I am really excited!! We have never been to MNSSHP before!!! We have never stayed at Hard Rock Hotel so I am really excited!!!!

I have always wanted to stay at the Royal Pacific. You have stayed there before, right?

Yes we have, last year. It is a beautiful resort, quite quiet and tropical. And we had a great room with a view over the pool and IOA. We thought we would stay there again as we know we really like it, plus our favorite restaurant is there, Tchoup Chop. We are so excited to eat there again

 

[mansionterror]

I was looking over my shoulders constantly in that room!!!

The funny part was the texas chainsaw guy! When you got close, his chainsaw went off!!!!

I had to join in on this pre-trip report. We live about 1 hour from Gatlinburg and we went to the Wax Museum in October. We posed with alot of the figures as well but it took alot of coaxing to get DS to pose in the Horror room, especially after hearing that chainsaw. I had to explain to him that it was fake and show him how to pose. I love all your pictures from the museum, looking forward to more.

 

[Villainess]

Glad to hear I am not the only one who is freaked out by wax figures!

WOW! That is quite a group going! I'm careful with who I leave DD and DS with as well. Do you know the nanny? Maybe you could meet her before the trip and get a better idea of her capabilities. It may help you with your decision to leave DD.

I went to Halloween Horror Nights, and I was completely and utterly petrified of it! People walking behind me and turning on a chainsaw is not fun for me!

 

[jewels1916]

Just caught up on yout PTR! Congrats on getting everything squared away in October! I was there in September this year when all the Halloween decorations were up and it was amazing!! Subbing!

Yay! I've never been during that time, but I'm sure it will be so much fun. Are you going to dress up?

 

[lmillercrew]

That's nice that the "new" sis wants to get together. That's how you build relationships. I forgot that you guys were going to WDW in Nov. I thought it was Oct. Anyway, I can't keep track.
Oh, and the Clampetts made me laugh!

Me too! Now we can go to MNSSHP!!!!

Your plans sound awesome!!
I laughed so hard when you talked about sniffing John S. OMG, you are crazy! So did he smell like what you thought he would?

I totally sniffed him!!!!! Um, yes and no. I figured he would have that windblown, gas smell, ya kno! Like the fumes from his car!

Yes we have, last year. It is a beautiful resort, quite quiet and tropical. And we had a great room with a view over the pool and IOA. We thought we would stay there again as we know we really like it, plus our favorite restaurant is there, Tchoup Chop. We are so excited to eat there again

Awww, how cool!!!!!!! How was Tchoup Chop?

That is really cool!!!! It took some coaxing to get me in the Horror room!! lol!!
Awww, bless his heart! How old is your son?

Glad to hear I am not the only one who is freaked out by wax figures!

They do freak me out!! I just feel like they could move or something!

It really is!!!! I think that once we meet her we will feel differently.

Oh, HHN really scares me!!! I can't stand it when I can feel them breathing on my neck!! I walk through the haunted houses with my head pulled down close to my shoulders! Boy, is that a funny sight!!

Just caught up on yout PTR! Congrats on getting everything squared away in October! I was there in September this year when all the Halloween decorations were up and it was amazing!! Subbing!

Awww, so it looks really cool with the halloween decorations?

Awesome!



Wow that's a lot of people! But sounds like you'll have a great time. I've never stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel so please take some pics!



Yay! I've never been during that time, but I'm sure it will be so much fun. Are you going to dress up?

We are excited!!

It is a whole lot of us!! I am really excited about the Hard Rock hotel! I have never stayed there so I will take tons of pictures to share!

I think we are going to dress up! We all want to do something themed!

That's nice that the "new" sis wants to get together. That's how you build relationships. I forgot that you guys were going to WDW in Nov. I thought it was Oct. Anyway, I can't keep track.
Oh, and the Clampetts made me laugh!

It really is! We love them all so much and its so nice to be able to spend some time with them since they live in Florida!

Well....we are like the Clampetts once you get us all together! You should have seen us at SIL's wedding! We ate at a Vietnamese restaurant
My niece had her chopsticks up her nose like a walrus along with Chad's younger brother! Then our niece was like, "Yu wan some golden retriva fri rice?" I was about to pass out!!

 

[hlrababy]

Here is a picture of me and Chad that I scanned tonight! This was taken at Universal in 2001!

 

[bertegirl]

So I just had to tell someone. We are upgrading from POFQ to AKL. The zero pool sold me! Plus I want to try BOMA. I love the photo...My hubbie would not pose with me. He would just stand there and laugh!!!

[bertegirl]

I will take lots of photos. I bought a journal at Staples today along with other planning items. So I can write down everything about our trip. Jason just looked at me and said you are not going to take photos of the food are you and I said of course. He is no longer talking to me.
